Parking Lot Communication Link Disruption Hazard Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle parking systems face hazards due to disrupted or absent communication links between vehicles and parking lot management systems, leading to incorrect vehicle transfers or obstacles on the parking lot, which can cause safety issues.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that continuously check the communication link between vehicles and parking lot management systems, initiating measures such as stopping the vehicle, emitting warning signals, or adapting traffic planning to mitigate hazards when a communication link is disrupted or absent, using a combination of vehicle and system-based interventions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If the vehicle relies on continuous communication with the parking lot management system for assisted driving, then the vehicle transfer precision and safety are improved, but the system reliability deteriorates when communication links are disrupted or absent
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by continuously monitoring communication link status and detecting disruptions before they affect vehicle transfer operations. When a communication disruption is detected, the system proactively initiates hazard reduction measures such as stopping the vehicle or switching to autonomous mode, preventing potential safety issues rather than reacting after problems occur.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary communication status monitoring mechanism that acts as a mediator between the vehicle and parking lot management system. This intermediary layer detects communication link status and triggers appropriate responses, ensuring that vehicle transfer precision is maintained even when direct communication is disrupted by switching to autonomous operation or safety protocols.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the vehicle stops or emits warning signals when communication link is disrupted, then the hazard reduction effectiveness is improved, but the productivity of the parking lot deteriorates due to traffic flow interruptions
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies partial action by selectively implementing hazard reduction measures based on the specific communication disruption scenario. Instead of always stopping the vehicle, the system chooses appropriate responses such as switching to autonomous mode for minor disruptions or stopping only when necessary, thereby reducing hazards while minimizing impact on parking lot productivity and traffic flow.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts its response to communication disruptions based on real-time conditions. The hazard reduction measures are not static but adapt to the specific situation, allowing the system to maintain productivity by using less restrictive measures when possible and applying more restrictive measures only when hazard levels require them.

AI summary
A method for reducing a hazard to and/or by a vehicle situated on a parking lot, including the following: checking a communication link between a vehicle situated on a parking lot and a parking lot management system for operating the parking lot while the vehicle is driving at least partially assisted on the parking lot with the aid of the parking lot management system; and initiating one or multiple measures in the event of a disrupted or absent communication link to reduce a hazard to the and/or by the vehicle due to the disrupted or absent communication link. Also described is a corresponding device, a vehicle, a parking lot management system, and a computer program.
